''Primula'' 〔''Sunset Western Garden Book.'' 1995. 606–607.〕 is a genus of mainly herbaceous flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. They include the familiar wildflower of banks and verges, the primrose (''P. vulgaris''). Other common species are ''P. auricula'' (auricula), ''P. veris'' (cowslip) and ''P. elatior'' (oxlip). These species and many others are valued for their ornamental flowers. They have been extensively cultivated and hybridised - in the case of the primrose, for many hundreds of years. ''Primula'' are native to the temperate northern hemisphere, south into tropical mountains in Ethiopia, Indonesia and New Guinea, and in temperate southern South America. Almost half of the known species are from the Himalayas.〔 ''Primula'' has about 500 species in traditional treatments, and more if certain related genera are included within its circumscription.〔(''Primula''. ) Flora of North America.〕 ==Description== ''Primula'' is a complex and varied genus, with a range of habitats from alpine slopes to boggy meadows. Plants bloom mostly during the spring, with flowers often appearing in spherical umbels on stout stems arising from basal rosettes of leaves; their flowers can be purple, yellow, red, pink, blue, or white. Some species show a white mealy bloom (farina) on various parts of the plant.〔 Many species are adapted to alpine climates.
